Status: Still under development, interface is stable but expect some more features and bug fixes

Network Attack Simulator

Network Attack Simulator (NASim) is a simulated computer network complete with vulnerabilities, scans and exploits designed to be used as a testing environment for AI agents and planning techniques applied to network penetration testing.

Installation

The easiest way to install the latest version of NASim hosted on PyPi is via pip:

$ pip install nasim

Using with OpenAI gym

NASim implements the Open AI Gym environment interface and so can be used with any algorithm that is developed for that interface.
